• <br />• <br />WS -8 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 8 <br />Date: Council Work Session, Wednesday, April 6, 2005 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Gordon Heitke, City Administrator <br />Re: City Involvement in Blue Heron Days <br />Background <br />Following the 2004 Blue Heron Days Festival, the City Council decided to incorporate <br />$3,000 in the 2005 budget for "community festival" purposes with the intention of further <br />discussion in 2005. Some time ago, staff reported to Council on discussions with the <br />Royalty Committee regarding the need for and their interest in having a permanent <br />parade float. This issue was discussed again recently and both the Royalty Committee <br />and chairman of the Blue Heron Days Committee would like to see the City of Lino <br />Lakes participate in the construction of a parade float which could be used year round to <br />promote the community and its festival. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff, the Royalty Committee and Blue Heron Days Committee is seeking a response <br />from the City Council as to whether there is support to use the budgeted festival funds to <br />construct a permanent parade float which could be used by the Royalty Committee to <br />represent the community in various parades throughout the year. <br />
